A surveillance video shows a small plane skidding into a warehouse near the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, then bursting into flames.

The plane, a six-passenger Cessna, crashed on Saturday afternoon. Two people died in the crash into the building, which also housed a therapy center for autistic children, the Associated Press reported.

Battalion Chief Steven Gollan, a spokesman for the Fort Lauderdale Fire-Rescue Department, told WPLG-TV that eight teachers and five children were in the building when the plane crashed. One of the teachers suffered minor injuries as she ushered the children from the building, but she was not hospitalized.
